Disclaimer: As before.

Sorry it's taken so long to update. Hope you like this chapter.

Before I had given up all hope of ever escaping this castle or staying alive. I had honestly thought I'd die there. But the events which had taken place the previous day had renewed my faith. I knew Sesshoumaru; his eyes were almost always cold but at the moment when the look in his eyes told me all that I needed to know. He would save me.

I still didn't know what Naraku wanted me to do. I knew it would be something awful but hopefully I wouldn't end up having to actually carry out whatever ever it was I had agreed to do

I would go back for her; I decided this after I had made sure that Rin was safe. I told myself that I was only bringing Amaya back as she was good at looking after Rin. I refused to believe there was any other reason. I took Rin back to the castle and left her there with Jaken. I told Rin that I would be back and then left to find Naraku. I would kill him once and for all this time. He had been a nuisance to me for far too long.

Sesshoumaru however wasn't the only one with his sights centred on killing Naraku. Unknown to the rest of them, InuYasha and his group were also on their way to Naraku's castle. And everyone has set their sights on bringing Naraku down. It was pretty safe to say that Naraku was going to get his butt well and truly kicked.

The sky outside was black and dark purple, it looked as though it has been poisoned and could be easily seen from my position. I was in a huge room which I didn't initially recognise. I looked round and saw that there was a fight taking place right in front of me.

The fight was taking place between Naraku and 5 other people. I knew three of them; Sesshoumaru, Kagome and InuYasha, along with two unfamiliar faces, a monk and a girl carrying a large boomerang I wanted to scream at what was happening just before my eyes, but I couldn't speak or move a muscle. It seemed like hours but in actual fact was only minutes until there was blood everywhere and not a single drop of it belonged to Naraku.

What happened next happened so quickly I barely even saw it happening. A sword appeared and was thrust as if by magic through the heart of Sesshoumaru. I put a hand to my own heart, at that moment I could have sworn someone had torn out my heart. Sesshoumaru fell to the ground, he was dead. I fell to my knees as I heard a voice speak over the chaos, "This must not happen!" it said. "If you allow this to happen then all will be lost."

My eyes flickered open and the dream just a faint memory. The words however still rang clear in my mind, that and the sight of Sesshoumaru dying. I raised a hand to my eyes and brushed away any tears that were there. I didn't understand why that image affected me so much. I didn't understand why it hurt so much.

I pulled myself up, something that for a while now had taken a lot of effort. I knew that I had become weak. Today something felt different though. I felt like I had when I'd first woken up here. I felt strong. I walked around the room just making sure it was my imagination and sure enough it wasn't. For some reason beyond my comprehension I had my strength back not that I was complaining.

One thing was different though, when I had woken up on that first day here I hadn't had my sword on me, someone had taken it away along with my other things. Now tied round my waist like my sword used to be, there was another sword. I unsheathed the sword and looked at it. The blade gleamed even in the gloom of this room. I ran my hand gently over the blade and up the hilt. My fingers brushed against something on the hilt. I looked and was amazed at what I saw there. Etched into it was a pair of angel wings, and engraved on top of them was a single word 'Suki'. It was a beautiful sword, but somehow I thought I recognised it. I pushed the thought out of my mind and sheathed it at my waist.

I walked over to the door and sat patiently waiting for the day to unfold.

I must have fallen asleep waiting because I was woken up later in the day by shouting and the sound of fighting. I felt my old rebellious self rise up inside me. I was fed up of staying here. Why had I even let this happen? I had let myself be treated like a worthless human once again. Well now it was payback time.

I slid the door open and made my way along the dark hallway towards where the sounds were coming from. My dream came flooding back to me as I entered the room. I could see the poisoned sky outside the wide open doors. The fight looked as though it had just begun. As I remembered what had happened I knew that I had to do everything in my power to stop it.

"WIND SCAR!" I heard InuYasha shout, as he swung his sword toward Naraku hitting him full on. But it didn't seem to have much of an effect. Naraku who was now in his true form which in my opinion looked totally gross used his tentacles to attack InuYasha. The monk and the girl with the boomerang were now working on cutting them off.

Meanwhile InuYasha and Sesshoumaru were trying there best to attack Naraku and Kagome was also attacking Naraku.

Naraku must have seen me lurking in the doorway because he sent me a glare that seemed to go right through my soul. "Come here now!" he ordered me.

I walked over slowly; he looked me up and down. His eyes settled on my waist and he smiled slightly at the sight of my new sword there. It was as if this was what he had been waiting for all this time.

All the while he was telling me what to do, he was also fighting them all off. Sesshoumaru shouted at me to get out of the way, but I couldn't. Whatever happened I had a plan and right now all that mattered to me was carrying it out.

Naraku meanwhile told me what he wanted me to do. He told me that with the sword that was currently around my waist, I was to stab Sesshoumaru through the heart and kill him.

My mouth gaped, THIS was what he had kidnapped me for, this was want he wanted me to do. I felt my stomach turn over, I felt sick. He was nothing but a coward. To weak to do it himself, he wanted me to do it.

I thought back to the dream and the words that were still engraved upon my mind. Whatever it was that had spoken in my dream didn't have to worry. I felt something stir inside me, it was that familiar ache that I'd felt before. I was snapped out of my thoughts immediately by Naraku shouting at me.

"Do it now!" Naraku ordered me. I didn't want to do it. Rin wasn't here now so I could refuse. I knew she was safe now. Besides I knew that even if my own life depended on it I knew I couldn't kill Sesshoumaru, even if it was possible for someone like me.

"No!" I shouted, "I won't do it, you'd have to kill me before I'd even think about it!" I could see that Naraku was losing it. He was trying to fight them all off, while trying to deal with me as well. One of his tentacles shot towards me stabbing through the stomach. My eyes widened and I gasped with the pain that now coursed through my body. He pulled me up high and then threw me across the huge room. I closed my eyes at this point, I think I had known that this fight would kill me, but now it was happening and I didn't want to see it coming.

Killing Naraku was proving to be more difficult than I had imagined. It didn't help that I had that stupid hanyou there as well getting in my way. I was beginning to think that the only way to get rid of Naraku would be for us to work together. But InuYasha was content on doing it by himself. Baka.

I was in the middle of attacking Naraku when I heard Amaya shouting. Naraku attacked her and threw her towards the ground. I stopped mid-attack and caught her before she hit the ground. There was nothing more I could do now, so I left her on the ground and went back to fighting Naraku.

What happened next was beyond what I had ever seen or sensed from any human.

Sesshoumaru had caught me before I had hit the ground. I wasn't dead yet, but I would be. I felt round my back and the wound went right through me. There was no way I would survive that. But if I was going down then I was taking Naraku with me.

I felt a surge of power run through me as I got up. The pain that had been within me had completely faded and it seemed like everything around me had been frozen but I was still able to move as normal.

Everything that happened next happened through pure instinct. It wasn't until a long while after that I knew what I had actually done. I walked towards Naraku, this strange power flowing through my veins, and my mind dead set on the task in front of me. Killing Naraku.

Naraku laughed at me. It had all come down to just me and him. I can't pretend that I wasn't scared. I was terrified at that moment, I had no idea whether my plan would work I just had to go with it.

Naraku tried to grab hold of me with one of his tentacles again. I took a deep breathe; I would only have one shot at this. I jumped and dodged the attack landing on top of his tentacle. I ran up it, unsheathing my sword as I did. In the split second it took Naraku to react I stabbed my sword right through his heart.

The power that I had felt surging through me now disappeared and flowed through my fingertips, down the blade which glowed bright white as it sunk into Naraku's chest. There was a flash of raw energy and everything returned to normal. The time which had seemed to stand still ran as usual and Naraku was dead.

I had sent all that power into his heart, which was human. I smiled slightly, my plan had worked. I had fallen to the ground. My new found strength that I had had that morning was gone. I got up on unsteady feet and took my sword from where it now lay covered in blood on the ground.

I sheathed it and turned round to face a shocked group of people and none more shocked than Sesshoumaru. I walked unsteadily towards Sesshoumaru. I had totally forgotten my wound while fighting. But I could hardly ignore the blood which was now trickling down my stomach and back onto the floor.

I looked up at Sesshoumaru, it was hard to tell with him but there was something which looked to me like concern in his eyes. I smiled as much as I possibly could, considering my current state. "I'm sorry," I whispered, before I lost consciousness and went plunging forward into the black before my eyes.

A/N: Ok so I haven't updated in a while. I'm really really sorry for that but I've had coursework, exams and I've barely had time to do anything other than schoolwork. I'm off on holiday now so I should be updating again pretty soon. This chapter, well I'm not completely happy with it, but for one thing I suck at writing fight scenes so I feel I did pretty well with thisand I hope no one was OOC.Once again thanks to all my reviewers and please review if you liked this chapter.
